Project description:Transcription factor (TF) reporter mice have proved integral to the characterization of murine innate lymphoid cell (ILC) development and function. Here, we implemented a CRISPR/Cas9-generated combinatorial reporter approach for the simultaneous resolution of several key TFs throughout ILC development in both the fetal liver and adult bone marrow. We demonstrate that the Tcf7-expressing early innate lymphoid progenitor (EILP) and the common helper innate lymphoid progenitor (CHILP) both contain a heterogeneous mixture of committed ILC and Lymphoid Tissue-inducer (LTi) precursors, rather than a shared precursor to these lineages. Moreover, the earliest specified precursor to the LTi lineage was identified upstream of these populations, prior to the expression of Tcf7. These findings match dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility associated with the expression of key TFs (ie. Gata3 and Rorc), highlighting the distinct origins of ILC and LTi lineages at the epigenetic and functional levels, and provide a revised map for ILC development.

Moreover, the earliest specified precursor to the LTi lineage was identified upstream of these populations, before Tcf7 expression. These findings match dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility associated with the expression of key TFs (i.e., GATA3 and RORγ(t)), highlighting the distinct origins of ILC and LTi lineages at the epigenetic and functional levels, and provide a revised map for ILC development.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) represent innate versions of T helper and cytotoxic T cells that differentiate from committed ILC precursors (ILCP). Still, how ILCP relate to mature tissue-resident ILCs remains unclear. We observed that a population of CD117+ ILC from peripheral blood (PB) of healthy donors does not represent any conical ILC subset, but expressed marker (CD117) commonly expressed by hemato-lymphoid progenitors. We therefore hypothesized PB CD117+ ILC might include uncommitted lymphoid precursors. In order to further understand the identity of PB CD117+ ILC, we profiled the transcriptome of highly purified circulating CD117+ ILC compared to CD34+ HSC, the latter representing immature hematopoietic progenitors with multi-lineage potential. Clear differences in gene expression profiles emerged, with a large cluster of 1540 genes expressed at substantially higher levels in CD117+ ILC. In contrast, CD34+ HSC cells highly expressed genes involved in the broad development of diverse hematopoietic lineages. Compared to HSC, CD117+ ILC express high levels of TF that have been shown to be essential for murine ILC development and we did not detect transcripts characteristic of T and B cells development. Transcriptomic analysis suggested that CD117+ ILC represent lymphoid-biased progenitors carrying a TF expression profile resembling a multi-potent ILC precursor (ILCP).

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) represent innate versions of T helper and cytotoxic T cells that differentiate from committed ILC precursors (ILCP). Still, how ILCP relate to mature tissue-resident ILCs remains unclear. We identify ILCP that are present in the blood and all tested lymphoid and non-lymphoid human tissues. Human ILCP fail to express the signature transcription factors (TF) and cytokine outputs of mature NK cells and ILCs but are epigenetically poised to do so. Human ILCP robustly generate all ILC subsets in vitro and in vivo. While human ILCP express RAR related orphan receptor C (RORC), circulating ILCP can be found in RORC-deficient patients that retain potential for EOMES+ NK cells, T-BET+ ILC1, GATA-3+ ILC2 and for IL-22+ but not for IL-17A+ ILC3. We propose a model of tissue ILC differentiation (‘ILC-poiesis’) whereby diverse ILC subsets are generated in situ from ILCP in response to environmental stressors, inflammation and infection.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play strategic roles in tissue homeostasis and immunity. ILCs arise from lymphoid progenitors undergoing lineage restriction leading to the development of specialised ILC subsets. We generated ‘5x polychromILC’ compound transcription factor reporter mice to delineate ILC precursor states by revealing the multifaceted expression of key ILC-associated transcription factors (Id2, Bcl11b, Gata3, Rorc(γt) and Rora) during ILC development in the bone marrow. This approach allowed previously unattained enrichment of rare progenitor subsets and revealed hitherto unappreciated ILC precursor heterogeneity. In vivo and in vitro assays identified novel precursors with potential to generate all ILC subsets and natural killer cells, and also permitted discrimination of elusive ILC3 bone marrow antecedents. Single cell gene expression analysis identified a discrete ILC2-committed population and delineated transition states between early progenitors and a highly heterogeneous ILC1/3/NK precursor cell cluster. This diversity may facilitate greater lineage potential upon progenitor recruitment to peripheral tissues.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) develop from common lymphoid progenitors (CLP), which further differentiate into the common ILC progenitor (CILP) that can give rise to both ILCs and NK cells. Murine ILC intermediates have recently been characterized, but the human counterparts and their developmental trajectories have not yet been identified, largely due to the lack of homologous surface receptors in both organisms. Here, we show that human CILPs (CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-) acquire CD48 and CD52, which define NK progenitors (NKPs) and innate lymphoid cell precursors (ILCPs). Two distinct NK cell subsets were generated in vitro from CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48-CD52+ and CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52+ NKPs, respectively. Independent of NKPs, ILCPs exist in the CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52+ subset and give rise to ILC1s, ILC2s and NCR+ ILC3s, whereas CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin-CD48+CD52- ILCPs give rise to a distinct subset of ILC3s that have lymphoid tissue inducer (LTi)-like properties. Additionally, CD48 expressing CD34+CD117+α4β7+Lin- precursors give rise to tissue-associated ILCs in vivo. We also observed that the interaction of 2B4 with CD48 induced differentiation of ILC2s, and together these findings show that expression of CD48 by human ILCPs modulates ILC differentiation.

Project description:Subtypes of innate lymphoid cells (ILC), defined by effector function and transcription factor expression, have recently been identified. In the adult, ILC derive from common lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow, although transcriptional regulation of the developmental pathways involved remains poorly defined. TOX is required for development of lymphoid tissue inducer cells, a type of ILC3 required for lymph node organogenesis, and NK cells, a type of ILC1. We show here that production of multiple ILC lineages requires TOX, as a result of TOX-dependent development of common ILC progenitors. Comparative transcriptome analysis demonstrated failure to induce various aspects of the ILC gene program in the absence of TOX, implicating this nuclear factor as a key early determinant of ILC lineage specification.

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) are critical in maintaining tissue homeostasis, and during infection and inflammation. Using combinatorial reporter mice we demonstrate the existence of rare, small intestinal lamina propria (siLP)- resident, ILC progenitors (siLP-ILCP) in adult mice. Transfer of siLP-ILCP into recipients generated ILC1/NK cells, ILC2 and ILC3 within the siLP microenvironment, but only ILC1/NK cells in the liver, lung and spleen. Single cell gene expression analysis confirmed the phenotype of the siLP-ILCPs and ILC progeny and indicated that siLP-ILCP-derived ILC1/NK cells from the siLP have a more tissue-resident phenotype than those from the lungs. Thus, in contrast to bone marrow-derived ILCPs, a local pool of siLP-ILCP can contribute to pan-ILC production in the intestinal microenvironment but has restricted potential in other tissues. Therefore, ILCP potential is influenced by both tissue of origin and the microenvironment during development. This may provide additional flexibility during the tuning of immune reactions.
